Western medicine is better than TTM for cancer.

Tashi delek,

Thanks for your opinion.

How did you came to that conclusion, e.g. that western medicine would be better than TTM regarding the treatment of cancer?

Further is there a lot of research with some herbs who could be used to prevent cancer.

Yes to prevent cancer that is also very important and here is interesting to know what kind of prevention one can use regarding the TTM.

I heard that curcuma can be used to prevent a certain kind of cancer like intestine and prostate cancer and that anti oxidants could be very usefull.

According to most Tibetan doctors I know, modern cancers do not really exist in pre-modern Tibet.

according to TM, cancers and all chronic diseases come from maldigestion -- other chronic diseases are edemas, benign tumors, and so on.

The following book (seems that not all of it is available online yet) only touches on Tibetan Medicine specifically, from what I remember; however there are at least two methods described therein for the curing of cancer:

It seems that Samael Aun Weor was mainly influenced by Paracelsus, and some of the South American Tribes such as the Mamas of the Arhuaco, Assario, Kogi, Tairona, etc. of whom he had direct contact with.

Hi there, I am trained in western medicine and the reason that western therapy is better at treating cancer is because of the way our therapies are targeted. For instance all cancers are caused by genetic mutations that cause dysregulation of the life cycle of individual cells. All cells at the end of their life are programmed to undergo cell death called apoptosis, what happens with mutations is that this system fails and the cells continue to grow and divide resulting in tumours. this is a very basic explanation and chemotherapy and radiotherapy are aimed at killing off these diseased cells, unfortunately they also kill off normal cells which results in horrendous side effects but it is the best we can do at the moment. also to cure a tumour completely the only 100% effective way of doing that is cut it out and western surgery is more developed in this respect. traditional medicincal doctrines are better at preventing cancer because of their more developed dietary systems/advice. so to prevent cancer follow the dietary advice of those older systems but if you get cancer it is better to see an oncologist and western surgeon to try to cure it.
